Rethinking Retirement

Retirement does not have to be bound by traditional timelines or expectations set by societal norms, which often suggest a retirement age of 65 to access Social Security benefits. Individuals can achieve financial independence and a fulfilling lifestyle at any age, as illustrated by Jacob Lund Fisker, who retired at 33. Instead of viewing retirement solely as an endpoint, it can be redefined as a state of financial freedom, allowing people to live life on their own terms without the constraints of a conventional job. By adopting an unconventional perspective on retirement, one can explore various paths that ensure both happiness and security.
